It was only hearsay being questioned on conservative websites
yesterday, but today Breitbart News says it has confirmed with several
sources inside the White House that the move to reassign deputy Chief of
Staff Katie Walsh was directly related to White House concerns that she
was leaking information to the press!Read about it...

Judge Napolitano wrote in a column March 16, “Sources have told me that the
British foreign surveillance service, the Government Communications
Headquarters, known as GCHQ, most likely provided Obama with transcripts
of Trump’s calls.” He stands by his comment.

[Sunshine State News] A Florida House committee
decided to move ahead with one of the strictest proposals to regulate
medical marijuana in the Sunshine State on Tuesday, much to the chagrin
of pro-pot advocates who have criticized the bill for going against the
wants and desires of Florida voters.

By a 14-1 vote, the House Health Quality subcommittee approved a
measure which would have widespread limitations on how Florida patients
consume medical pot.

And guess what? Not only would smokeable cannabis be banned, but patients would also be
barred from buying more than a 90-day supply of marijuana, edibles would
be off-limits and “vaping” would only be allowed for terminal
patients. Also, licenses can be yanked at any time.

The Lake Worth Commission voted the right way on March 21st when
they voted 5/0 to establish a moratorium on applications, confirmation
letters, business licenses, development orders and permits involving
uses relating to medical marijuana. In spite of the correct vote, one of our Planning & Zoning board members chastised the entire commission on its vote.

The bill (HB 425), sponsored by Rep. Mike La Rosa, R-St. Cloud, prevents local governments from imposing new restrictions on vacation homes. Local ordinances that were in effect on June 1, 2011, could remain, but restrictions adopted after that date, including laws based on a 2014 legislative compromise, would be declared "void and unenforceable" by the state and wiped off the books.

The parade of bill opponents included the Florida Association of Counties, Florida League of Cities, Flagler County, the Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Associations, and the cities of Bradenton Beach, Daytona Beach, Holmes Beach and LakeWorth.

"Remember earlier this week when California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (Democrat) shockingly charged the Planned Parenthood whistleblowers
from the Center for Medical Progress with multiple felonies instead of
Planned Parenthood itself? Remember how strange that seemed considering
that profiting from the sale of human body parts
is illegal? It seems that it could be a simple misapplication of
justice on the part of Attorney General Becerra, but I think there is a
little more to it than that."

We made a promise to you. We promised to repeal and replace Obamacare. And I assure you, we are going to keep working toward that promise.

We’re in the business of helping improve people’s lives. That’s why we put the repeal of Obamacare at the top of our agenda -- because every day that Obamacare lives is another day that your taxpayer dollars fund Planned Parenthood, your premiums rise, and more insurers bail out.

But after ten years of being the opposition party, we’re feeling the growing pains of becoming the governing party. We’ll get through this, because we have to -- we have a responsibility to the American people to get things right.

We’ll continue to work on health care reform, while also focusing on the other campaign promises Republicans made in November.

I’m grateful for your support, Lynn. After eight years of liberal rule, it won’t be easy rolling back and replacing other remnants of the Democrats’ big government policies. I’ll need you with me in the months ahead.

[Palm Beach Post] LAKE WORTH — Since President Donald Trump was elected, the immigration issue has been in the news frequently, making Palm Beach State College’s upcoming discussion more timely than ever.

On Thursday, the college is scheduled to host “Immigration & Civil Liberties in a New Era” on the campus west of Lake Worth, 4200 S. Congress Ave.

There will be three speakers: Nancy Abudu, director of legal operations at the Florida American Civil Liberties Union; John DeLeon, attorney and past president of the Miami-Dade ACLU and Wilfredo Ruiz, communications director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The discussion starts at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Public Safety Building, room 108.

Now check out who is speaking to our young kids? Liberals with an agenda. There will be no fair and balanced views and that's the problem in our colleges and universities today. They are all getting brainwashed by leftest and dangerous ideology.

Ruth Eikert, owner of Trinkets & Treasures, says, "Hey,
we're having another painting 🎨 party at Trinkets & Treasures 712
Lake Ave. Lake Worth on 1 April (no joke) from 7:00 - 9:00ish.
Lots-a-fun.We supply all you need and you supply you along with your
beverage of choice. It's best to register ahead at Trinkets &
Treasures cause seating is limited. There is a fee for this but it's
well worth the price considering you only need to bring yourself, some
friends and a fun time making art."

Tom Perez has promised to unite Democrats and make them President Trump’s “worst nightmare”. Perhaps ironically, it was Trump’s election that has led to Perez having to tell every DNC staffer, "you’re fired!”

[Front Page] Democrats are against anyone who does not adhere and go along with their ideology and have made it "clear that they will not accept the lawful authority of our system of government. They will not accept the outcome of elections, nor accept these things because they are at odds with its ideology and because they represent the will of large portions of the country whom they despise.
The question is what comes next."

"
Jupiter Farms residents did all they could Thursday to wipe out the idea of a surfing ranch in western Palm Beach County, but the plan is still on the drawing board.

Commissioners directed county staff to examine a possible land use change that would allow a firm affiliated with surfing legend Kelly Slater to build a surfing ranch with a 2,000-foot long wave pool at the Palm Beach Park of Commerce, which is located next to Jupiter Farms north of Bee Line Highway."

After Herman Robinson spoke on Tuesday night saying that our pool was derelict property, that it was unacceptable and that he wanted work sessions to find out "what we want," I didn't get the impression that he was talking about the people and what they wanted. He even mentioned a parking garage. His campaign promise talked about interlocal partnerships. What in the hell are those? Partnerships with other governments? We already have one by accepting the $5 million bond money from the county that put a 30 year stipulation (strings) on the deal. And Lake Worth helped pay for that bond.

Many would say that Robinson was put into power to help forward Maxwell's agenda, a commissioner who has always wanted our beach project under its present form to fail. And we can't forget that Robinson received a campaign contribution from Delray New Wave LLC stating that the contribution was from an attorney. Michael Weiner is the registered agent for this corporation with his office right down the block from Hudson Holdings.

Right now we can fix our pool and we have the money to do it. The city manager tells us that the pool is leaking water and has hired an engineer to find out why. He too has never had faith in our pool and wants our pool to fail. how do we know that it was not damaged during the casino construction? The pool area was used as a staging area for all the heavy equipment.

Ribbon Cutting – Lake Worth Domino Park
The City of Lake Worth is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony for Domino Park, an unused parcel of land that has been upgraded with Community Development Block Grant funds to better accommodate residents. The ceremony will take place at 2:00pm on Tuesday, April 4th in Domino Park.

“Domino Park” was an unimproved parcel of land in the City right-of-way that has been used as a community meeting place for years by residents in the area. Palm Beach County allowed the City to utilize unexpended Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to make some improvements to the area that will better accommodate the residents through the provision of a more attractive venue and protection from the elements.

“We were able to complete some of our other CDBG projects on time and under budget, so the County graciously allowed us to put the remaining funds toward other locations – Domino Park and the upgrading of the Osborne Pavilion specifically. Residents in the area are always out here playing checkers and dominoes, so it’s great we were able to clean it up and provide a permanent structure to this community meeting place.”
~Jamie Brown, Public Services Director

[Allen West] Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore State’s Attorney, has a bad day in
court it seems. The judge has not seen things her way at all. Mosby put 6
police officers on trial in an attempt to railroad them over the Freddy
Gray incident. It was a rush to prosecution that was not based on facts
but upon political expediency. She now faces a civil lawsuit from the
officers. They get their day in court.

Paula Prudente, conservative, speaks to the West Palm Beach City Commission

on illegal immigration and against the City's "Welcoming" Resolution

The meeting started at 5
PM today where the West Palm Beach mayor
and city commission (all Democrats to my knowledge) met to pass a resolution and the adoption of what they are calling a
Safe City Resolution or a "Welcoming" Resolution. What it means is, the city commission of West Palm Beach consisting of over 102 thousand residents just passed a resolution making the city a Sanctuary City.

Can you imagine these elected officials in charge of your life? Your city? Welcoming illegal immigrants? The resolution indicates the city's refusal to
cooperate with ICE (immigration) officials in their attempts to collect
and deport illegal undocumented immigrants unless they commit a crime. Of course, simply being here IS a crime.

Evidently they have no fear in the federal government in its quest to crackdown on sanctuary cities that plans to pull federal funding.

First reported by CrimeStoppers on February 28, this juvenile was involved in a fight in downtown Lake Worth. Deputies responded to a fight that occurred outside, in-between Downtown Pizza and CJ’s Island Grill, early Sunday morning. The fight was broken up by other patrons before deputies arrived. She has now been identified, interviewed and charged with aggravated battery. She confessed to participating in this battery and is currently on route to the Juvenile detention center.

The White House announced today action against sanctuary cities, saying
that states and local jurisdiction must prove compliance with
immigration law before they can be eligible for $4.1 billion in
Department of Justice grants.

This group reminds me of ISIS terrorists right in one of our major cities. Heavily armed and toting rifles, wearing masks and looking like Che Quevara types, the Brown Berets are there to scare and intimidate Trump supporters. This is a sad moment for our country.

Arizona is an open carry state and liberals are totally against guns especially semi-automatic weapons or so they say.

I wanted to give everyone an update on our former city manager, Susan Stanton, as someone had come over to this blog saying that she was the "best city manager ever." He was saying it sarcastically but I always stated it as fact. This is a city manager who turned red to black in this city...we actually received more money than we spent.

The District is the primary water resources agency for Santa Clara County, California. It is the largest multi-purpose water supply, watershed stewardship, and flood management special district in California. It acts not only as the County's water wholesaler but also as its flood protection agency and is the steward for its streams and creeks, underground aquifers and district-built reservoirs. The District’s FY 2016 Budget is $528 million dollars and employs about 750 FTEs’

The District is the primary water resources agency for nearly two million residents of the County. It encompasses all of the county’s approximately 1,300 square miles and serves the area’s 15 cities (Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale) and also serves the unincorporated areas of the County.

The District sells treated water to 12 water retail companies and cities that service communities within the County via their own distribution systems. The District operate and maintain three water treatment plants, an advanced water purification center, ten local reservoirs and dams, a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory, dozens of groundwater recharge basin, five pump stations and 144 miles of pipelines.

Milpitas

I used to live in Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) in the town of Milpitas right at the foothills. Gorgeous place.

Milpitas

If you notice, Susan has come a long way since she was fired by this Trio in Lake Worth. Things usually work out for the best and it did for her, going from an operating budget of $30mil in Lake Worth to now one of the people who oversees a budget of $528 mil and is the COO. A Chief Operating Officer is usually responsible for the daily operations of the company.

I spoke with Susan and she said, "We are dealing with some flooding issues in San Jose ...and all that goes with it but this place is great."

[Patch.com] "Dearborn is No. 2 on the government’s list of U.S. cities with the
highest number of residents with suspected terrorist ties, according to classified government documents posted by The Intercept, an online magazine." This was written in 2014. Who knows, Dearborn could be number 1 by now.

Rep. Emily Slosberg’s proposed vote-by-mail reform amendment:
“Any candidate, person acting on behalf of a candidate, or member of a political committee, group, or organization who is present in the residence of an elector while he or she marks or designates a choice on the ballot for the purpose of intimidating the elector or soliciting the elector’s vote is guilty of a felony of the third degree.”

What The Palm Beach Post reported:
Two Democrats, Mack Bernard and Al Jacquet, took advantage of gaping holes in Florida’s vote-by-mail laws to pressure and cajole voters in their living rooms. In one case, a blind voter said Bernard filled out and signed his ballot. High numbers of absentee votes propelled both candidates to victory.

Hi Lynn,
Thanks. I filed it in a quick response to the Palm Beach Post. I want to work on the language a little more and make sure it is right.

What's the next step?
To refine her amendment--try to close the loopholes and stop any tampering.

1. “Pass the full Obamacare
repeal bill. That gets us to 2008 when health care was far cheaper than
it is today under the burdensome, heavily bureaucratic Obamacare
mandates.
2. “Each state needs to decide what it wants to spend on health care
and what it wants to offer its citizens, if anything. The federal
government has repeatedly proved itself a failure on this issue for
decades. They need to get out of creating monopolies in health care and
punishing free market competition.
3. “All the federal government needs to do after repealing Obamacare
is to pass a bill that allows any health insurance product to be sold
across state lines with no minimum federal mandates. Period.
4. “Medicare eligible Senior citizens and poor people on Medicaid
should have the option of choosing a voucher to spend toward the
purchase of any type of healthcare plan they want, then put the surplus,
if any in a Health savings account.
5. “I’d also encourage the states to pass liability shields for
charity clinics. If doctors, nurses and facilities want to offer free
healthcare, then the clinic and practitioners should be free from the
threat of lawsuits.”

"Judge Anthony Trenga, who was appointed
by former President George W. Bush, said in his 32-page ruling that
Trump was legally allowed to ban travel from those specific countries
and that the executive order was not discriminatory in nature as the
Palestinian activist who filed the lawsuit requesting an injunction had
suggested.

Trenga wrote that the president “has
unqualified authority to bar physical entry to the United States at the
border.” He also pointed out that the executive order itself does not
mention religion and has a “state secular purpose” of protecting U.S.
citizens from terrorist attacks.

The judge didn’t view Trump’s campaign rhetoric about a “Muslim ban”
as being dispositive and did not accord it the weight that Judge Derrick
Watson in Hawaii did.

Here’s a good breakdown as to why Judge Watson’s opinion was wrong,
including finding a violation of constitutional rights of non-citizens.

The interpretation of the judge in Virginia is much more in line with normal interpretation of the law.

Generally, you interpret a law, or in this case an order, based on
the plain language, you don’t go looking at everything that may have
ever been said on the subject, not even necessarily on the order itself.

You don’t look beyond it at intent unless the law/order is itself
unclear, which this order is not. The order itself has no religion and
has no discriminatory aspect about it. Not to mention as the judge in Virginia correctly notes, it is the
purview of the president to set immigration policy, not the courts.

So thankfully there’s at least one judge who cares about the law and not reading his own opinion into it."

I thought she probably was a New Yorker but I found out she originally was from New Jersey. Most wise-guys I have ever known come from NY. Handler, who thinks she's funny, was a vocal supporter of the 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and was critical of her opponent Donald Trump. In 2016, she told The Daily Beast that a Trump presidency would be the "end of our civilization." Supposedly she is a comedian but I find nothing funny about her smart ass "act."

Former Congressman Allen West has observed the GOP House leadership and finds it wanting. His junior officers in the Army were taught to plan, not react. Mr. West has been in Congress and knows the inner workings. here are his thoughts on what happened to the repeal and replace fiasco. And then he tells you how this could have been avoided.

This is where we are in America with progressive socialism. Some still
don’t believe the stove is hot, and that progressive socialism is a
failed premise of governance. And here comes the GOP trying to keep the
people away from the stove, the flaming hot stove of Obamacare, a
massive tax and welfare endeavor that will burn this nation. But the
problem is, the GOP wants to try and keep the stove on, in an attempt to
regulate its heat, instead of shutting it off.

This car has been parked illegally along John Prince Park property on the shoulder of the road. For nearly two months, there was no license tag until a few days ago. Now they have one day to move it or it gets towed.

Rep. Bill Hager keeps all of his constituents informed by sending out a newsletter. All elected officials should do this. This is a snippet out of his letter that has a special interest for us here in Lake Worth. Bill Hager in the House is the go-to guy if you have any questions on Sober Homes. Jeff Clemens is the one in the Senate.

Bill Hager says, "House Bill 807 relates to sober homes; an issue I have been working on for more than a decade. I know that this is a priority bill for our residents, and I’m pleased to say it has one more committee stop before it goes to the House Floor."

The Senate companion bill has also unanimously passed 2 committees. The bill cracks down on unethical marketing and referral practices that enable the bad operators.

"Over the last several months, one of my top priorities has been listening to people in our community about how they will be impacted by health care reform. I’ve heard over and over again about the incredible burden that Obamacare has placed on 18th District families. Because of Obamacare, two of our counties now have only one insurer on the individual exchange, while premiums and deductibles have become beyond unaffordable.

During my more than 12 years in the Army, I never went into one battle that was finished with one shot and I never went in with the perfect plan either, but what I learned is that when we went in unified and we worked together, we never lost. Our broken healthcare system will not be fixed overnight. As I have said from the beginning, the only way we can fix the failures of Obamacare is through a fully transparent process that engages voices all across the country. Moving forward, I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in working to improve our nation’s healthcare system to ensure that everyone has the liberty to choose the health care that is best for their life.”

~ U.S. Rep. Brian Mast

"President Trump and Speaker Ryan should be ashamed of themselves for trying to force through a disastrous bill that would have ripped away health coverage from tens of millions of Americans, dramatically increased premiums, and severely cut Medicare and Medicaid. The American people spoke loud and clear; they do not support gutting their own health benefits in order to give massive tax cuts to health insurance companies. House Republicans need to start working with Democrats on real policy solutions that will benefit the American people."

Last week, Katie took me to the Green Barn in west Delray where they sell everything orchid. Some of the arrangements were out of this world and probably out of my monetary reach. There they had this cute little parrot.

Known affectionately as Pocket Parrots by many, the Quaker Parrot has exploded in popularity as a pet over the last several years. These small birds have big personalities, making them a great choice for those who want a parrot but are unable or unprepared to care for one of the larger parrot species.

Car was stolen from this sober home last
night! This is more of a vent. So this home has changed operators
several times. In the past 6 months there have been two robberies there
where PBSO has asked us to look at our home surveillance video to see
if we could see the crimes being committed which we captured. I called
the sober task force today just over it, but was left sort of deflated
as it was a v/m and it took a lot of ringing before that even picked up.
Hope I hear back. Seriously considering erecting a billboard/sign
in my front yard that says Sober homes are not welcome in this family
community! The nail in the coffin was the "victim" said yeah this is
supposed to be a Christian run home and he just rents to anybody! I
don't begrudge anyone their hard work for their sobriety but these slum
lords who run their homes as a boarding house with a revolving door
should be shut down.

These Derringers sure get into the news! It's been awhile since we last heard about a Derringer and it was the Dirty Water case. Now comes 28 year old Daniel Derringer III, of Lake Worth who tricked teenage girls into exposing themselves.

Perhaps his phone number gets him off the hook from a ticket. We don't need this on Lake Osborne Drive. Selling anything on county public land without a permit or a license is against the law. Even parking on county property after dusk is subject to a fine and people do this all of the time.

A rock has been turned over in Chicago, and all kinds of revelations are scattering out.Bill Ruthhart and Hal Dardick report in the Chicago Tribune:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel's personal email accounts have served as a private avenue of influence where executives and investors sought favorable action from City Hall, raising questions about whether some of the messages crossed the line into lobbying and violated the city's ethics law, the Chicago Tribune has found.

Usually, such requests don't become public. But late last year, pressure from open records lawsuits resulted in Emanuel releasing a trove of emails in which he conducted public business on personal email. The messages offer a rare look at how the mayor operates out of the public spotlight and reveal who has his ear."

The Senate confirmed
the nomination of David Friedman to be U.S. ambassador to
Israel by a vote of 52-46 this afternoon. Two Democrats "jumped ship"--Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Wisconsin is moving forward with a plan to drug test some food stamp recipients, and most voters nationwide would like to see a similar plan in the state they live in.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. Voters believe any American applying for food stamps in their state should be drug tested. Just 31% disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

U.S. no longer in top 10

Finally, the United States is no longer among the world's top 10 nations in terms of economic freedom, according to a newly published index. The world's largest economy slipped two notches into the 12th position in the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom spelled out by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal, registering its seventh consecutive decline. When President Obama took office, the U.S. was ranked 6th. Now it is 12th.

They’ve taken over our currency, and they’re preparing to seize health care. We’re being occupied by the left.Rush Limbaugh

Coming Full Circle

As a voting adult, I started off as a Republican and during the Nixon regime, I realized that I was really a Democrat, back when Democrats had common sense and integrity and cared about the common good of all without the selling off of America. I changed my Party to reflect those views. Having been a Democrat for many decades now, I have come full circle and have seen the erosion of principles for which I thought the Democratic Party stood. It's a pity that it took most of my life, until 2008, to realize how wrong I was.

Strange Love Affair

Quote of the Decade -or- Hypocrisy of the Decade

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Quote from the Past

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."

Politics is a BITCH

The nicest people turn into clowns. Please remember, this is opinion. Everyone is entitled to have one. If you come over here with anonymous personal attacks, most likely they will NOT be published. This blog is not fair and balanced as is Fox News. It is an advocacy site.
